Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

He heard her words and his eyes narrowed slightly, followed by a scoff, "What Five Poisons, what Dorothy Russell? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Tina looked at him indifferently, "Years ago, you deliberately approached Joshua to become close friends, allowing him to gradually lower his guard. The day before the shooting, you two switched identities." "In that shooting, the real Joshua died trying to save others, while you, assuming his identity, lived on."

"Justin, you have schemed for so long to achieve eternal life, even plotting yourself into our hands. Did you ever consider that you might never be able to leave this life?" Joshua, no, it should be Justin now.

Upon hearing this, Justin's expression momentarily cracked, but he quickly laughed.

Then, the human skin on his face slowly split open, revealing a very young face beneath.

Tina couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this face. Angela is now over forty, yet the man before her, clearly Angela's father, appeared to be only in his twenties. "Tina, you are even smarter than your mother."

Five Poisons no longer needed to hide, realizing that this time, he had lost.

He had lost completely, with no chance of turning the tables.

However, losing to her was not too shameful; Tina was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.

Her mother, Natalie, was formidable, but he had already sensed a hint of 'the student surpassing the master' in her. With just a bit more time, he was sure he could surpass her mother.

"But I am curious, how did you find all this out?" With his identity exposed, he no longer pretended and his young face wore a grotesquely unsuitable smile, which was oddly terrifying.

"I've explained it once to Dorothy Russell, and I don't feel like explaining it again to you."

Tina looked up at him, her lips curling slightly, "However, there is one thing I can tell you!"

Justin raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"You and Dorothy Russell have spent your lives researching eternal life. While I haven't yet produced an elixir for immortality, I do have a life-extension pill that can prolong one's life by five years. Based on the ST-1 formula you developed, I've found a direction for researching the elixir of immortality."

The life-extension pill was real.

It was something Tina had developed in her spare time at Serenity Ridge.

Initially, she aimed to create a healing pill, but the life-extension pill was her first version, not the healing pill she wanted. However, she discovered that it could prolong life.

She had never marketed the life-extension pill.

In her view, life, aging, sickness, and death were all part of fate; defying fate was against the natural order.

In the hands of other doctors, a life-extension pill might just be a pill that extends life, but in her hands, it was defying fate.

And she was well aware that once this pill was released, it would cause a frenzy, even leading some to kill for it. That was not what she wanted to see.

Thus, she only made ten pills and kept them permanently.

Now, however, she was considering researching the elixir of immortality.

Of course, not to sell it, but because this medical research posed a high challenge, one she wanted to overcome. Justin's pupils dilated in shock as he stared at Tina incredulously.

"What did you say?"

She actually had the elixir of life!

Had he known this earlier, why would he have gone through such elaborate schemes to establish whatever it was?

Capturing Tina would have given him everything he desired.

Tina glanced at him dismissively.

"I don't talk to the hard of hearing."

With that, she took Jared's hand and turned to leave.

At the door, she left a parting shot, "Justin, remember in your next life you better repent for all you've done in this one, or you'll be trapped in hell forever!" After her words, she and Jared stepped out, and she pulled a mini bomb from her backpack and threw it behind her.

Boom!

The huge explosion echoed through the valley as Tina and Jared, facing the flames, got into their car and left the area. On the road, Jared's face was grim, and he remained silent the whole time.

Tina turned to look at him and took his hand.

"Uncle, let's go pick up Uncle Joshua."

She knew Jared was having a hard time.

Joshua was his uncle, the person he trusted the most in the Farrell family.

Yet, unbeknownst to them, Joshua had died abroad many years ago, sacrificing himself for others.

All these years, it was another man under his guise.

Before discovering Justin's true identity, Jared had harbored resentment towards Joshua.

He couldn't forgive the most trusted person for betraying him and even for attempting to destroy the entire Farrell family.

But when he realized it wasn't his Uncle Joshua who had betrayed him but Justin, he felt remorse for not trusting his uncle.

Jared was under tremendous psychological pressure, which Tina could see; thus, resolving the situation with Justin was not a happy occasion for him.

He wanted Justin to suffer excruciating pain until death.

However, they needed to deal with Justin promptly; if Dorothy Russell escaped, they wouldn't abandon the research on the elixir of immortality, and if Justin remained alive, they would always try to rescue him. And they didn't have the time to personally watch over Justin.

It wasn't that they didn't trust their people; rather, Justin, Dorothy Russell, and the person behind Dorothy Russell were too powerful, and their subordinates simply couldn't stop them. Thus, dealing with Justin was the best solution.

"Thank you, Tina!" Jared felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

No one understood him better than Tina.

He couldn't think of anything else to say, only, "Thank you." Tina smiled.

"Don't thank me, thanking me means you don't love me!"

Hearing this, Jared abruptly braked, hooked his arm around her neck, and leaned in for a kiss.

His kiss was gentle and prolonged. After a long while, he looked up seriously at Tina.

"Tina, I love you! Only you!"

Tina, her cheeks slightly flushed, coughed awkwardly.

"Next time you're going to kiss me, could you warn me first, so I'm prepared?"

Every time before she had enough, he let go.

The desire was still there!

Jared laughed, the shadows in his heart from the Justin incident instantly dispelled. He leaned in and kissed Tina again, biting her lip after a long time, he asked, "Tina, is that enough?" "Enough, enough!" Tina stammered!

That kiss was breathtaking!

She thought about tackling her Uncle right there!Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

But this was a public road...

She admitted she couldn't do it.
